  • Wonderful!

  • I like these - not least because of the elaborate way in which they were put together. Can you show the back, too? For that will be helpful to viewers who are not acquainted with these pieces.

  • I shipped it out a few weeks ago and it's sold ,, don't have a good image of the back. I think there is a photo in your book isn't there? 

  • Yes, we have more than one example - one much older and rarer than this and another which is more similar, though possibly not quite as good. In both cases we show the back, and the manufacture is also described in Truus's *Ethnic Jewellery and Adornment*.
